My name is Zoey and I’m a diamond in the rough.  I’m just overflowing with potential! I’m a super sweet dog whose all-time favorite activity is turning strangers into friends. I’m energetic and smart and, at one year old, still basically a puppy.  My mama was a boxer and my daddy was a mysterious stranger in the night. And me? I’m just a good girl.  I’ll admit, though… I’m not very highly educated. I’ve got plenty of smarts, but need some help learning to apply and focus my energy. I’m a dog who needs exercise and something to keep my mind busy so I don’t have to go looking for my own fun.

What I do know is that I LOVE people. I sometimes get so excited to see a person that I jump up and try to tackle them with my paws. Apparently, that’s rude? And I’m not really supposed to do that? So I’m working on learning some self-control.  In my previous home, my person said I got along with dogs I knew. I haven’t met any dogs since coming to the shelter (I’m pretty new here and hope I won’t have to stay very long!), but if you have any other dogs, I’d love to meet them here in the shelter before going home with them so that we can see if we’re a match!  So if you’re the kind of person who can look at a lump of clay and see the masterpiece it can become, check me out! I’m telling you now- I’m good-quality clay. Ready to be the best friend you ever had!

My name is Zoey, I’m one year old, and I’m spayed, up to date on shots, and fully vetted.
